  1. Re: thread title: Nobody has schematics for the MK-5 versions, because there was no way to acquire the schematics. Only the MK-4 (and MK-14 for EC tier 2) were available as schematics.
  2. You might be able to do it with a virtual machine (VirtualBox is free to acquire and use), but the second account in the VM won't be playable outside of "log in, invite the alt, log out".
  3. Too late for that, seeing as how the post above yours quoted your original post in its entirety. I don't. The 30-day guild bank exclusion is longer than necessary, and could easily be reduced to a week, or even two or three days, with as much effectiveness.
  4. It isn't *secondary*. It's just *second*.(1) And yes, the crater over there is where the last few molecules of that dead horse have been beaten beyond a pulp. *first* styles. But those specialisations (after 3.0, Disciplines) weren't a change of what at the time was called "Advanced Class". I disagree strongly. If they implement such a thing, it should be for the player's choice of the first or second style. Level 30 is too early to decide for certain styles, because of the relatively late arrival of key abilities. (1) As I've said many times before, "secondary" implies (even if you didn't want it to) that the second style is somehow less important or valuable than the first. I have more than one character who uses the second style exclusively. I see no reason to call that style "secondary".
  5. Patience grasshopper. They already *said* they were going to extend it to more companions than just KLT and Arcann.
  6. Sounds like you have weak gear. Do not have weak gear.
  7. Yes, but I'd have to say "not at all effectively" rather than merely "not particularly effectively", because you had basically one attack, your "basic" attack, that could hit beyond 10 metres range... (But that's essentially true even today, except for the "in cover" part.)
  8. The other thing to bear in mind is that *all* the railshooter space missions are fully deterministic - the enemies always appear in that order and in those places and times - and the more demanding (i.e. higher-level) missions are more demanding because they require progressively more and more precision and accuracy in terms of where and when you shoot what. The Heroic ones are even more demanding.
  9. Almost. Before KotFE (patches less than 4.0), the change was when you arrived on the Fleet after finishing your starter world's origin story (then called "class story"). Starting from the release of 4.0 but before the release of 5.0 (KotET), the changed was allowed starting at level 10 rather than when you finished the starter world's story.
  10. I prefer not having the cover bar. It became optional a while back, and I didn't even realise that it was made absent-only. So bring back the option. Do not force it on players like who prefer not having it.
  11. Perhaps, but an automatic thing for existing characters will be wrong for *someone* (probably a substantial number of somebodies). What is your source of inside information that makes you say that they store it the way you typed it? (Or is this a proposition for how you'd like it to work?) It isn't used anywhere. (The phrasing here makes me thing you meant that it is currently stored how the player capitalised it, and you have shown no evidence for that.) Even if it's not a guild member, the second bubble happens, and the "Firstname lastname" thing in chat is exactly the problem. *Something* is stored, but probably not the capitalisation that the player typed. Imagine that I try to use certain Irish Gaelic family names *correctly*. That would require me to type "Firstname lAstname", which would not be displayed *anywhere* (it would show "Firstname Lastname" everywhere except chat, where it would show "Firstname lastname"). Not in my view of my nameplate, not in your view of my nameplate, not in the various other non-chat places that show mixed-case, not in chat either, nowhere. Yes, I agree that it's a bug (I've never contested that *anywhere*).
  12. Once they invent magic, I suppose. EDIT: It's worth noting that they never said *anything* about ever bringing out a way to change either the first or the second style, neither for nor against.
  13. What you suggest is not impossible, except that the chat database probably doesn't (er, sorry, shouldn't) contain actual character names, but some sort of internal ID for the character, to reduce the "hit" when a player changes the name of a character. (If the character name is part of the chat database, the name-change has to (or at least "should")(1) update those rows of the chat database. If it has an internal ID instead, the name-change can leave the chat database alone.) But it's entirely possible that the game stores e.g. "Kylarina Lyuze" in the *character* database as "Kylarina lyuze", or even "kylarina lyuze" and initial-caps it as "Kylarina Lyuze" as necessary, except that the recapitalisation process is bugged in chat (and only in chat), and initial-caps it as "Kylarina lyuze". (1) If it doesn't update those rows, and you inadvertently choose the character's old name for your own character, you "inherit" the chat lines said by the other player's character, and might end up with problems if those lines were ... reportable.
  14. Yeah, without a name, a legacy only kinda half exists, and the things listed by @Ominovin are in the "kinda half" that doesn't exist.
  15. 'Sweird, the only times I had problems with that boss were the very first time I went there, the same week it was released, when nobody knew how it worked, and the time I was playing as a Shadow Tank (Kinetic Combat), which I didn't know well. Stay out of circles and whatever as much as possible, and kill the adds that aren't "Tank Droid" as soon as they appear. And hit the boss itself until it falls over. And give Rania Temple gifts to raise her Influence rank. (I k'bah to look up which is the best gift type to give, but I think it's either Imperial Memorabilia or Military Doodads.
